including being limited in the size of contributions they are able to take in vs. Walker not only already having a warchest and significant built in funding streams, but also as far as I know he is able to collect unlimited corporate contributions. I believe the challenger's contribution collection will be capped at $1000.00 per person. Jessica King, our state senator was elected in a recall election vs incumbent Randy Hopper facing the same hurdles. It's not undo-able, but it's a huge funding mountain to climb.
